Mike Pelfrey was miffed at Placido Polanco. The Phillies' infielder then had some words for Pelfrey. As for Philadelphia announcer Gary Matthews Sr.? Well, he delivered a piece of sharp criticism toward the Mets organization.
The Mets have provided way too much material for me this season, and now, with their season spiraling totally out of control, still more injuries have taken center stage.
